I'm so excited to be a part of this project at the Guelph Enabling Garden! Building an earth loom with the community for use in the garden is something that I have wanted to do for a very long time. This is a wonderful opportunity to work with some fabulous people! Please come out and participate or visit the garden after September 24th to see the woven creation.

Taught by Alisa McRonald who has been teaching textile arts to many different age groups for many years.
